;----------- here it works!!!

$net = Run(@ComSpec & " /c netstat -an",'',@SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Return_Output($net)

;---------------------------------------------------------------

$xcopy = Run(@ComSpec & " /c xcopy c:\mytest d:\mytest2 /Y /H /E /C",'',@SW_HIDE,$STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

Return_Output($xcopy)


Func Return_Output($job)

    Dim $_StderrRead='', $_StdoutRead='', $_StdReadAll=''

    While ProcessExists ( $job )

        $_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $job )
        If @error Then ExitLoop

        If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then
            ConsoleWrite ( "STDERR read : " & $_StderrRead & @CRLF )
            $_StdReadAll = $_StdReadAll & $_StderrRead & @CRLF
        EndIf

        $_StdoutRead = StdoutRead ( $job )
        If Not @error And $_StdoutRead <> '' Then
            ConsoleWrite ( "STDOUT read : " & $_StdoutRead & @CRLF )
            $_StdReadAll = $_StdReadAll & $_StdoutRead & @CRLF
        EndIf

    Wend

    ProcessClose($job)

    Return ($_StdReadAll)

EndFunc

this is really not applicable !! The solution is to run the script with Admin permissions (#RequireAdmin)!!! Is there any way to make it work without it?

@error only really works for the command immediately preceding it, so the following isn't going to work well.

$_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $job )
        If @error Then ExitLoop

        If Not @error And $_StderrRead <> '' Then

How it should be written is as follows.

$_StderrRead = StderrRead ( $job )
        If @error Then
            ExitLoop
        ElseIf $_StderrRead <> '' Then

If it is an error then by definition it isn't NOT an error, so will exit the loop and never get to that statement.

Haven't run your code, so not sure if that alone fixes things.

This is working for me without #RequireAdmin :

#include <Constants.au3>

$net = Run(@ComSpec & " /c netstat -an",'',@SW_HIDE,$STDERR_MERGED)
ConsoleWrite (Return_Output($net) & @CRLF)

;---------------------------------------------------------------

$xcopy = Run(@ComSpec & ' /C xcopy c:\Apps\Temp\*.* c:\Apps\Temp2 /Y /H /E /C /I','',@SW_HIDE, $STDERR_MERGED+$STDIN_CHILD)
ConsoleWrite (Return_Output($xcopy) & @CRLF)

Func Return_Output($job)
  ProcessWaitClose ($job)
  Return StdoutRead ($job)
EndFunc

By the way, your Return_Output is unnecessary too complex.

I want to parse the output during execution and not at the end.

Yes, I'm getting to old!!!! thank you

Some clarification: I think @error is only reset after calling another function, not after every command (statement). So the first code example should also work in theory, however I do agree that it is bad style to use @error like that.
